NRS Deluxe Cockpit Cover

Details

NRS's Deluxe Cockpit Cover helps you keep the good things in and pesky things out.

Sometimes you want to keep items in your kayak (your two-piece paddle and life vest) while you're traveling. Sometimes you want to keep things out of your kayak (small animals) over the winter. Grab the NRS Deluxe Cockpit Cover. The nylon fabric in the Deluxe Cover lasts for years. Measure your kayak cockpit opening, find the right size Deluxe Cockpit Cover, pull the cover over your cockpit, and adjust the bungee cord for a custom fit.

Does exactly what its supposed to.

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I bought this because I was tired of dragging my boat up and down my basement stairs in the spring and summer, so I was leaving my boat outside. The cover is super light weight but has lasted being outside all season without really showing any wear. My cockpit stays dry and more importantly, critter-free. I really like the elastic rand on this, makes it really easy to take on and off. This cockpit cover is exactly what I needed and has held up really really well.

57 is more like 56...

I have an OldTown Vapor 10xt... When I say LARGE fits, I mean as in if there was 1/8 inch more plastic on my cockpit this dude would not work... Putting this cover on by myself is an exercise in patients, finding the right swear words to fit the occasion, and the perfect time for some background Benny Hill Theme music... I added some 550 cord to the front loop and connect it to the front grab handle with an S-BINER just to make sure wind doesn't get underneath. Never had a problem with it coming off...

not for an Old Town Vapor

Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I bought 2 of these, my wife and I each have Old Town Vapor 12's. I put these on each kayak with a bungee going across the top. Very tight fit but they did go on. on our first trip we got to camp, a 2 hour drive, and mine was gone. $38 wasted. made sure my wife's was on tight and drove to the lake and it was off the cockpit and holding on by the bungee. I am returning the one I have but since I have nothing to return of the other one, the carrying bag got sucked out of the kayak when the cover came off,I am out $38 with nothing to show for it. used it once and it failed. The person on the phone was as helpful as she could be but they have rules.

Works great!

I bought two different sizes in this cockpit cover. One for my girlfriend's kayak, & one for my own. Originally I bought the neoprene cover, which did not fit, for my own kayak. The measurement on this cover is very accurate & the quality is great. I would definitely recommend this product.

Just What I Needed

The XS fits very well on both my Perception Tribute 14 and Essence 16.5. Even if it feels a bit loose, you can pull the bungee tighter and knot it off. Held on completely at highway speeds and kept out an incredible downpour on the road.

Very disipointed

I bought this cover with my new Kayak in Feb. of 2008 from EMS. It stayed in the package till June, than was outside in the shade till Sept than stored inside again till now. The cover is rotted and if you touch it it tears. I dont think I'll try another one

Loved them, bought two, the one I bought for my sons Acadia 12.5 didn't fit as well as the one for my Dagger 13.5 but the rubberized rim really makes it easy to mount and it stay on even while transporting at 60 / 70 mph. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Actually, I measured my cockpit dimensions...

Actually, I measured my cockpit dimensions (Old Town Vapor 12XT) and it's 22.5 x 58. I looked at the Old Town website and they show the cockpit dimensions as 19.5 x 49. So I still need a cockpit cover and am not sure your size large will fit. Has anyone bought this cover and it fit my boat?

Answer GLK's Question

Just measure the length and width of your Equinox cockpit. Forget the sizing convention names - NRS lists the length and width of the various size covers they sell. I have a bunch of Necky kayak's and the cockpits are about 34.5" X 17" or so. I ordered the extra small and it was too tight - didn't really fit.....so I returned and got the small - while a little large it fits fine and does the job. The guys at Backcountry will send you a free return shipping label if you let them know you are not quite certain. Just save the hassle, take good measurements and order the one you need.

Answer Bryan's Question

I have a Old Town Dirigo Tadem that I...

I have a Old Town Dirigo Tadem that I intend to leave tied to the dock and am looking for a waterproof cover to keep the rain out. Will these covers work? What sizes would I require, a med and a large?

I bought the medium and there was no way it would fit my Vapor 10. I even had my husband try stretching it across and not even close. Had to return it, no problem, but definitely have to go with the large!

Answer Timothy G.'s Question

It's not an exact fit, but the Small version of this is closest to the listed dimensions of your cockpit (35.5 x 16.5in). The Small would be a shade too big, but use the bungy cords to tighten it down. The NRS Nylon Cockpit Cover is a bit closer to your cockpit size and might be worth taking a look at too. Remember, if it doesn't fit you can send it back to us. No sweat!
